The test file which is displayed in the screen shot by loading it into Vim.
The screen show shows that all these combining characters are displayed correctly in xterm and mlterm bug only very few are displayed correctly in konsole. It is not that konsole doesn't support combining characters at all, it does display a few of them correctly and apparently always calculates the columns used correctly. But nevertheless, most combining characters cannot be displayed correctly. Playing around with different fonts doesn't help. And I am pretty sure that the font used in the screen shot is the same for all 3 terminals. Same bug also reported here: http://bugzilla.novell.com (bug #80623). |
